To overcome cough, throat pain, and ear pain, try a combination of steam inhalation, warm saltwater gargles, and over-the-counter medications like pain relievers, decongestants, and cough suppressants; additionally, stay hydrated, rest your voice, and use a humidifier to soothe the throat and ears

Question

I've been having this issue with my throat for a while nowabout three months. Whenever I drink water, I get this weird pain, but it's totally fine when I swallow food. It's starting to really bother me, and I'm not sure what's going on. Any ideas on what might be causing this or what I could do to make it stop?

Question

I'm a bit worried because during dinner I think a piece of food might've gone down my windpipe. I didn't have a choking fit or anything, but I did feel like at some point the food left my windpipe. Now it's got me wondering because I still feel like there's something stuck in my throat. Breathing and talking are fine, but I keep coughing since it feels like something's in there. Is it possible I might've just coughed it up and swallowed it, and my throat's just irritated?

Question

I'm a bit concerned because I have this white spot on my right tonsil. There's no pain or fever with it, but I'm still curious about what it could be. Should I be worried about it, or is it something that's generally harmless?
